She waits for a fable
For the start of a story
That she heard long ago
Too good not to come true
I can't compete, no way.
Because the man, the man in the moon
Is cooler than me, so constant and brightly smiling
Oh the man, the man in the moon
Cuts holes in the night and leaves me washed out by his light
Oh to be the man in the moon
Nothing to prove, swaddled in nonexistence
Oh and I'll be sick of this soon
But she'll remain
In love with the man in the moon.
I wait for a fable
For the start of a story
That I heard long ago
Too good not to come true
